Hey guys! SecretMarauderette here. I read a story kind of like this called, "Battles on the Quidditch Pitch" by xEmmax but it hasn't been updated in a couple years and it wasn't complete so I took it upon myself to write a story with along the same plotline. And I have another story that I'll post the first chapter to as soon as my beta reads it. I don't need a beta, but she's a friend of mine and I want her to read it first. This fic will remain beta less. And I was not even a twinkle in my mother's eye in the seventies and don't feel like researching, so a lot of the content will be 2000-ish.

Hippolyte is pronounced hippo-leet.

Hey, sorry for the accidental update, but I changed Jamie's name to lessen the confusion.

There once were two wizarding schools in Britain, Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Hippolyte Academy of Witchcraft. Hippolyte was going to merge with Hogwarts since there weren't many in each school and Hogwarts had more than enough room for both schools. Both schools had their own Quidditch teams though. So that would be a problem. The Quidditch captains of this year would both have automatic places on the house teams, but the problem would be the two captains fighting for dominance. Especially if the Gryffindor captains were James Potter and Lily Evans.

"James! Wait up!" Sirius Black called to his best friend, James turned around.

"Well hurry up Sirius! Those girls from Hippolyte are taking the Hogwarts Express this year, remember? And I have to meet the Head Girl, whom if you've forgotten is one of them!" he called to his struggling friend.

"Well, you could have at least helped me with the trunks!" James laughed at him.

"LILY!" Aurora Lynne screamed when she saw her best friend. She dropped her things and ran towards Lily Evans, said best friend.

"RUE!" Lily screamed and dropped her stuff so she could run to collide with her closest friend in a hug. They were so thrilled to see each other again.

"Oh, it's so good to see you!" Rue said as she squeezed her friend tighter.

"I know. I missed you so much Rue!" Lily said as Rue released her.

"I missed you too, but now I have to go get my stuff. Wait for me by the luggage lift. (Anyone know what that's called?)" Rue told her.

"Okay." Lily agreed, and then set off to the luggage lift.

"Whoa, dude. Check it out." Sirius whispered to James and pointed. James looked to see an auburn-haired girl scream and run to collide with another, more natural looking, redhead. They collided in a hug that looked like they were trying to suffocate each other. James raised his eyebrows in acknowledgement. The girls let go of each other as one friend went in the direction of the luggage lift while the other went in the opposite direction. Presumably to reclaim her belongings she dropped in order to be reunited with the other girl.

"Let's go help her out." James suggested. As they got closer, James observed her more closely. She had a tall, athletic build, though still somewhat slender. Bright red-hair, that wasn't orange but not as red as the other girl's. She was sporting blue jeans and a Holyhead Harpies Quidditch t-shirt. He walked up behind her and lifted the trunk she was currently having difficulties lifting.

"Need some help?" he asked close to her ear. She turned, and he looked into a pair of startled, sparkling emerald green eyes.

Lily hated her trunk. It wouldn't lift. She had reflexes, not upper arm strength! Lily huffed dejectedly before, once again, attempting to lift her trunk. She suddenly felt the trunk get lighter and, startled, whipped around to see the most gorgeous hazel eyes she had ever seen. Those hazel eyes were set in a handsome face. The forehead was covered by bangs of messy black hair that covered the top of his head. The head was connected to strong shoulders, on a lean but still obviously muscular body. The body was covered by baggy jeans and a Puddlemere United Quidditch t-shirt. The boy looked to be her age also. (Always a plus! ;P)

"Need some help?" the gorgeous boy asked her. She snapped out of her trance and answered.

"Yes please. The stupid thing won't get off the ground." she sighed aggravated. He chuckled and fully lifted her stubborn trunk onto the lift. She took a moment to admire the way his biceps flexed under the tightness of his t-shirt. (Mmm…hormones and hot Quidditch players… great combination) He turned to her again as soon as the trunk was fully on the lift.

"Thank you so much. I probably would've ended up waiting for my friend Rue, because she's a beater, she actually has upper arm strength, but would have definitely not let it go the whole ride there. And I'm rambling. Hi, I'm Lily Evans." She told him with a slightly embarrassed smile. Great, now he probably thinks I'm weird and will make up some lame excuse just to get away from me as soon as possible Lily thought sourly. But the boy just chuckled and said,

"Hi Lily, I'm James Potter. And it was no problem. Glad I saved you from being teased the whole way to Hogwarts." he smiled at her.

"LILY!" Lily could hear Rue screech from the other luggage lift. Oops. Lily thought.

"Sorry, I have to go. But, uhm, see you later?" she asked him regretfully, but with an apologetic and hopeful smile.

"Sure thing. Bye Lily." he said with a grin. She grinned back and ran off to find her friend.

"Sure thing. Bye Lily." he said to her with a grin, anticipating 'later'. He watched as she ran off to her friend. 'Rue' he presumed with a sigh. He told Sirius he'd see him on the train, but now he had Head Boy responsibilities to attend to. He hopped on the train and went to find the Heads' compartment. When he opened the door however, he found a very surprising someone that was already seated.

Apparently, 'later' arrived sooner than he anticipated.

Once Lily found Rue, and got yelled at for going to the wrong luggage lift, she left to go find the Heads' compartment with the promise of seeing her friend after the meeting. She finally found the small room, and had barely sat down when the door slid open once more. Standing in the doorway was James Potter, trunk lifter extraordinaire.

"Hey." she greeted, giving him a little finger wave.

"Hi." he returned the gesture as he came in and sat down across from her.

"So, you're my Head Boy?" she asked him.

He nodded. "So you're my Head Girl?" he asked. She didn't know why, but she liked the way he said his Head Girl. She nodded.

"So, how exactly does Hogwarts work?" she asked him curiously.

"Well, first, we're sorted into Houses…" she cut him off before he could get any farther.

"We did too. They were Anticone (my House), Sophocles, Koios, and Phoebus. Anticone was where you went if you were considered brave and noble. Sophocles was for the wise and clever. Koios was kind-hearted and hardworking. And Phoebus was pure blood and cunning." she finished. James was impressed.

"It sounds like Anticone is like Gryffindor, (my House) where dwell the brave at heart. Sophocles is Ravenclaw, wise and clever. Koios is hufflepuff, kind and hardworking. And Phoebus is Slytherin, the bloody snakes think only pure bloods should have magic and they're prejudiced against anyone less." he compared.

"So, it looks like we're going to be in the same house this year Mr. Brave-At-Heart." Lily said slyly. He smiled at her, and she smiled back. It was then, the prefects entered. The meeting began.

"Welcome back gentlemen!" Professor Dumbledore greeted. "As some of you may know, Hogwarts School of Wizardry will be merging with the ladies of Hippolyte Academy of Witchcraft. I expect you will welcome them graciously. We will start sorting by year. 7th years first please."

When McGonagall called, "Evans, Lily" James head shot up. He heard a wolf whistle and a distant, "Ow, ow!" that seemed to come from Lily's friend Rue and another brownhaired girl that must also be a friend of Lily's. Lily blushed slightly when she heard that. McGonagall placed the hat on her head and bellowed, "GRYFFINDOR!" Lily came to join the Gryffindor table that was cheering loudly. She sat next to James.

"Congratulations!" he said to her. She smiled at him in thanks.

"Aren't you going to introduce us?" Sirius asked mock-offended.

"Of course. Lily these are my best mates Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew." he said pointing to each as he announced their names. Lily smiled at each of them and politely said hello.

"Hart, Charlotte" was called and Lily immediately turned her attention back to McGonagall. A pretty blonde haired girl walked up and sat down.

"GRYFFINDOR!" the girl came, plopped next to Lily and hugged her.

"Guys this is my friend Charlie." she explained and introduced Charlie to the Marauders.

"Lynne, Aurora." was called and the auburn haired girl walked up. She had reddish brown hair that was down to her shoulders and a confident expression on her face. She swatted Charlie to the side and sat next to Lily.

"This is my best friend Rue" and repeated the introductions.

Lily only had to introduce them once more when "Voegele, Riley" was called. Riley, or Riles, was the girl with the brown hair who had assisted in the catcalling Lily had received. Dumbledore stood once again.

"An announcement before we indulge ourselves. Would all this year's Quidditch captains stand please." James was surprised when Lily stood with him. "The captains from Hippolyte automatically have a place on the team. You must work together. You both have the same amount of power. Tryouts will be tomorrow considering today is Friday. Thank you."
